Myles Downey, the author of Effective Coaching, defines coaching as the art and practice of inspiring, energizing, and facilitating the performance, → learning and development of  the player.

Each word in this definition is a key word:

• art – though there is science to coaching, coaching is an art in the sense that "when practiced with excellence, there is no attention on the technique: the coach is fully engaged with the player and the process of coaching becomes a dance between two people, conversationally moving in complete harmony and partnership. At this point the → intelligence , intuition and imagination of the coach become a valuable contribution – rather than being interference for the player."

• inspiring – coaching is about helping the player to unlock his or her true potential through raising awareness, → inspiring new ideas and encouraging → creativity

• energizing – coaching is about → energizing the player through effective communication, soliciting suggestions, and building a can-do → attitude

• facilitating – implies that the player has the capacity to have an insight or creative idea and to think something through for himself   >>>

• performance – anything a coach says or does should be driven by the intention to → improve performance, i.e. to achieve greater effectiveness or efficiency of the player

• learning – refers to a broader domain, how to approach a task or master a new technology; looking beyond immediate objectives, the future performance of the organization depends on learning.

• development – refers to → personal growth and greater self-awareness.
